Rainfall has been difficult to come by recently and some deficits are starting to appear as per the featured map of rainfall departures since 1 May. For Iowa, the largest deficits are depicted in far southeast with values in the 1-3 inch range. One needs not travel far south into Missouri to find significant wet departures. There are rain chances in the forecast, but it remains to be seen how widespread and if it will fall over the driest portions of the state.
